Committee reviews draft workforce/economic-development letter; sidewalks on Highway 86 prioritized
Summary
A draft letter reflecting community input from a June public hearing will be sent to county officials; members recommended prioritizing sidewalk completion along Highway 86 through Heber and listing projects in order of priority.
Committee member (S2) presented a draft workforce and economic development letter based on public comments recorded at a June 8 hearing and invited committee edits and additions. The draft lists candidate projects and requests that the committee rank projects by priority to help county decision-making.
"As you enumerate them, you enumerate them in order of priority," Staff member (S4) advised, urging that items be listed A, B, C so the county understands relative need. Committee member (S2) proposed that finishing sidewalks along Highway 86 through Heber and off-site improvements from Dogwood to the railroad tracks be among top priorities, arguing improved sidewalks would help future businesses and provide pedestrian access.
Members discussed whether Highway 86 falls under state jurisdiction (Caltrans) and whether relinquishment or coordination with Caltrans would be required; S4 said staff can provide contact information for Caltrans and recommended copying Caltrans on the letter so the agency is aware.
